Q

explain Heart failure , DF,Classification , Clinical manifestation

A

—Df: its progressive clinical syndrome in which either structural or functional abnormalities impair the ability of the heart to meet the metabolic demands of the body
—Classification: they are 2
1-Anatomical:
1.1 Anatomical left-sided : usually duo to systemic hypertension
1.2 Anatomical right-sided : caused by to many things such as pre load , left-sided HF cause Pulmonary Conjation which lead to fail of the right side
1.3 in both sided
2-Pathophysiological :
2.1 systolic : ventricle cant pump the blood through systolic phase which is bcs the muscle are week Ex> ischemic heart disease
2.2 diastolic : duo to hypertrophy the heart cant pump the required amount if the blood in the filing phase
—Clinical manifestation:
decrease Cop leads to following mechanism:
1-sympathetic over activity duo to decreased oxygen to brain leading tachycardia
2-renal ischemia : increase of RAAS ( renin angiotensin aldosterone system) lead to V.C and aldosterone lead to salt and water retention which lead to increase after load and preload and more heart failure

—molecular mechanism:
its inhibit Na+K+ atapse enzyme , Entering of the sodium to the cell is Passive action so we dont need The
Na+/K+atapes pump so accumulation of the Sodium inside the cell and K+ extracellular, Accumulation of intercellular Sodium leads to :

1-increase Vegal activity > bradycardia
2-decrease sympathetic activity duo to better Oxygenation
—Pharmacological effect :

2-decrease RAAS secretion
3-relief of lung conjation
4-decrease HR duo to vegal increase of vegal tone
5-Normalization of of the Bp
—Uses :
1- chronic HF> digoxin
2- Acute HF > Strophanthin K
3-Arterial fibrillation
—Contraindications
1-sever bradycardia
2-AV block

—Adverse effect :
1-Thrombocytopenia
2-increase liver toxicity
-uses :
1-they are used IV only for short term treatment of CHF for patient who digoxin doesn’t affect on them
2-For acute AHF ( Acute Atrium Failure)

Explain the Calcium Sensitizer Drug For HF

A

-Drug : Levosimendan Falcon 0,25%-5ml
-mechanism:
1-increase the sensitivity of Cardiomyocytes to Calcium by increasing myofilment Calcium by binding to Cardiac troponin in the calcium dependent manner
2- also its selective of Phosphodiestrase enzyme type 3 inhibitor which lead to Accumulation of cAMP which lead to
1-improve contractility
2-and vascular smooth muscle relaxation
—pharmacological effect :
1-V.D
2- decrease pre load and after load
3-Arrhythmoginc effect
-uses :
1-Acute HF

Q

Explain the Df , AP of Cardiac and its Phases , differences between Phase 4 in Atrium and ventricular, pathophysiology of Arrhythmia

A

-DF of AP : in the resting state K+ ions is found mainly intracellular while Na+ and Ca+ extracellular making the intracellular is negative
-phases :
Phase 0 : rapid depolarization of the cells duo to rapid influx of Na+
Phase 1 : short period of Redepolazation duo to slow influx of K+
Phase 2 : Plateu delay in repolarization duo to slow influx of Ca
Phase 3 : second period of Rapid repolarization duo to rapid out influx of K+
Phase 4 : the resting state is restored , Na is extracellular , K+ back to intracellular by Na/K+ pump
- Difference between Phase 4 in Atrium and ventricular : is the slop the atrium consist of Slop duo to pre entering of Ca+ to the cells in this phase
—Pathophysiology of Arrhythmia:
-Df : its disturbance in the normal heart rhythm and its results from :
1-Abnormal impulse generation
2-abnormal impulse conduction
